Kerrang 2002 Awards - Hilton Hotel Ballroom , Park Lane , London - 27.08.2002
Just when I thought the standard of rock n roll parties had taken a real dive recently along comes The Kerrang Awards in this mega plush 5 star hotel . The end bill must have been massive. Around 50 tables of 10 people per table and I was one of the 100 or so standing around the edges. 200 competition winners were wheeled in for the stage pit action but they were not allowed to mix with the others but hopefully they got there own food and drink from Kerrang.
6pm to 8pm Champagne reception and other free drinks.
8pm to 9.15pm The Awards Presentation.
9.15pm to 10pm Lovely hot and cold food buffet with desserts and chocolates.
10.30pm Everyone moves to smaller room where there is a full sound system and more drinks.
Those who were there Offspring, A , Hundred Reasons, Garbage, Puddle Of Mudd, Gary Numan, Roger Taylor and Brian May ( Queen ) comedians Ben Elton, Jennifer Saunders , Ade Edmundson .
Rammstein , Tonni Iommi , Brian Molko , Sum 41 ,Muse , Foo Fighters .
